    Mike Tyson has been retired for 5 years. Hasnt been in his prime for about 20 and he's getting his ow TV show to fly ****in pigeons. See who gives a **** about Floyd 5 years after he retires.

    Exactly. This question is ridiculous. It isn't even close. Tyson's impact on the sport in my lifetime is second only to Ali's.

    Yeah... Mike Tyson and Ali would be a good poll.

    I rmember someone also arguing with me about De La Hoya and Tyson.

    As I explained to him, you have old ass ladies who ain;t never watching boxing who know about Mike Tyson.

    The badest man on the planet vs Dancing with the stars/WWE Floyd?

    I don't even think Floyd or Ellebre would argue this one.

    Tyson is an icon.

    Mayweather is a peon.

    No contest.

    i think you barely read what i posted before you started spasming out about floyd... :rofl

    i said he "could" do those things... and of course, Tyson was the last man to transcend the sport... :good

    mayweather has the ABILITY to do so... but only time will tell IF he does... :deal

    Just because Floyd is the highest paid doesn't mean he made a big impact on boxing !!He's a hell of a salesman I will give him that ..But no one gets amped up for a Floyd fight like they did a Mike Tyson fight I can't beleive someone who calls them self a boxing fan would ask such a question !!!!

    even if you combine floyd, pac, and the super 6... they won't still compare to the impact of tyson IMO.
